Richard & Jerry, Rhode Island Colony did not exist in 1638 - hence, my problem. I know others prefer not to use the location as existing at the time of the event and that's okay. But not knowing this information has sent me looking in all of wrong places for records.
In reading responses I am now wondering which "Notes" you are using that makes the information readily available on reports. Thanks for your responses.

At the time, place names were not as specific.Rich in LA CA --- On Tue, 12/13/11, Kay Fordham <kayhawo...@earthlink.net> wrote: From: Kay Fordham <kayhawo...@earthlink.net> Subject: [LegacyUG] Locations - Old Vs. New To: LegacyUserGroup@LegacyUsers.com Date: Tuesday, December 13, 2011, 4:35 PM I've seen this discussed many times. I prefer to use the location as it was at the time of the event. Searching the archives, most responded that they show the current location in Notes. I'm currently entering family who settled in Portsmouth, RI, in 1638 - starting out with my ancestor who had 14 children. I must add the current location for these parents and their children - and then their descendants until the State of Rhode Island was formed. It seems there must be an easier way. Any thoughts?
